<\/p>\nSnoop Dogg’s notorious love for consuming weed could be about to go up in smoke, as the rapper claimed to fans on Thursday that he is quitting smoking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fans were immediately unconvinced by the admission, with some wondering if it was just a publicity stunt ahead of a new business venture with edibles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019m giving up smoke,’ the rapper claimed in his post, which included a fuller statement reading: ‘After much consideration with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old added before signing off the message, ‘Please respect my privacy at this time.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Snoop for further comment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Snoop Dogg says he’s QUITTING smoking – after it was once claimed the cannabis-loving rapper had 75-150 joints rolled for him every 24 hours<\/p>\n

Up in smoke? Snoop Dogg is pictured smoking a blunt while performing at The O2 Arena on March 21 this year in the UK<\/p>\n
It has come as a shock to fans of the veteran rapper due to his open appreciation for the drug, which has extended to numerous business ventures, among them edibles, weed strains and a digital media business devoted to marijuana related news.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was once claimed that the rapper – born\u00a0Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr – had someone rolling 75-150 joints for him per day, which he would later dispute and dismiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renegade Piranha, who had claimed to be Snoop’s ‘personal blunt roller’ (PBR) said last year: ‘On average, I do about half a pound a day, which seems excessive. So that’s roughly like 75 to 150 units per day. I calculate it at over 450,000 blunts.’<\/p>\n
However, in March this year he admitted he had moderated his weed intake after becoming a grandfather.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Big business: The veteran rapper has an open appreciation for the drug, which has extended to numerous business ventures, among them edibles and a digital media business<\/p>\n
Speaking to DailyMail.com in March, Snoop said his personal use was scrutinized after eldest child Cord\u00e9 became a father to son Zion in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways,’ he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0‘The main way is being concerned with how I live, how I move, the kind of people I\u2019m associated with, because I want to see my grandkids grow old.<\/p>\n
‘The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps as far as how I move, who I hang out with, where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking?\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The end of an era’: Fans quickly took to Twitter in shock at the news\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Am I doing extra-curricular or am I just doing what I\u2019m supposed to be doing?’<\/p>\n
The father-of-four is a parent to Cord\u00e9, 28, Cordell, 26, and Cori, 23, from his 25-year marriage to Shante Broadus, and son Julian, 25 from a former relationship with Laurie Holmond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Snoop is no stranger to weed and revealed in a 2013 Twitter Q&A that he smokes up to 81 blunts per day, which is consistent with the estimate of his personal joint roller.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2015, the rap artist launched his own platform called Merry Jane, a lifestyle media site that serves as an information hub for everyone interested in weed geared towards the occasional to the daily smoker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
